Thanks to all the members who have given the time to help me with all my newbie questions.
Although I did have a few mishaps on my first few post-training dives, I survived and enjoyed them with confidence.
Thanks
My training dives were from a beach that deepend to 40ft, at about 50ft from shore.
My first 4 open dives were from a boat in the Gulf of Mexico at 100ft with seas ranging from 1-3 ft, and current that must have been 5+ mph.
Mishap 1: as I submerged to 20ft, I learned that thermoclines (cold water in face) really bother me. Remedy: wear a diving hood.
Mishap 2: fast current is very powerful. Remedy: have plenty of rope hanging off the side of the boat.
More importantly, there are many mishaps that were avoided because I was able to prevent them because of things I've learned here.
